## Description

Kino MacGregor’s clear, energetic spirit leads you through this powerful introduction to Ashtanga yoga. The DVD is broken up into three key sections: philosophy, practice, and breath. Tim Feldman, Kino’s fellow student of Ashtanga, considers breath far more important than any bending and stretching on the mat, and leads you through a guided discussion and instruction about breathing. Greg Nardi introduces you to the philosophical foundations that yoga is built upon, citing texts and yogic wisdom. The practice section, lead by Kino and Tim, is certainly the section you will be replaying again and again. The teachers adapt the exercises to be suitable for both beginning and advanced students. The teachers lead a full one-hour practice of sun salutations, standing postures, seated postures, backbends, and finishing postures. Use the practice lead by these powerful teachers to help you to begin a daily practice, and to dip into some inspiration when your well is running dry. This multifaceted introduction to yoga is designed to help you realize the full potential of a daily practice, to help bring your life into a place of peace, and to help you to feel more happy. Kino MacGregor is the youngest woman to receive certification to teach Ashtanga Yoga by its founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. She is the founder of the Miami Life Center in Miami, Florida and a teacher of international repute.

    Kino-Ji, America's Contemporary Ashtanga Master
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013*

Don't judge Kino MacGregor by her gorgeous look, blond hair, beautiful body, toe rings, short shorts, and colorful make-up although I have to admit that her physical attributes appeal to me personally. So go ahead anyway. It should have ended there for me watching her free YouTube videos. Why did I pay for her videos and plan to sign up for her classes when she's in town? Not to mention taking my time to write a review of her DVD.She deserves to have more good words spread around about her. There are two reasons to buy her products. First, she is an expert practicing and demonstrating very difficult postures of this hard-core Yoga style. Ms. MacGregor keeps going back for further training in Mysore, India, and is one of very few certified Ashtanga instructors in the world. Second, she shares her knowledge of Ashtanga with passion and dedication of a genuine teacher. With her pleasant voice and intonation, Ms. MacGregor is generous with all aspects of Ashtanga how-tos. Her instructions tell us what body parts are folded, bended, twisted, lengthened, shortened, and breathed into and out of. "Suck in your belly and draw your energy in." "Use your shoulder girdles. " She generously dispenses techniques and tips. Law of Attraction works for her that the more (advice either paid or gratis) she gives, the more (money or compliments) she gets.What I like about this DVD is the opening and closing mantras with their Sanskrit transliteration and English translation. Another instructor, Tim Feldmann lays a superb groundwork for anyone wishing to practice Ashtanga Yoga. The foundation of Ashtanga is that breaths lead (to) movements. For this reason, the extensive instructions, particularly the Vinyasa chapter, go in deeply to explain why and how each movement and breath is in sync and coordinates. "Otherwise, it's not Ashtanga," says Mr. Feldmann. Moreover, the video offers side-by-side comparisons of the advanced practitioner (Ms. MacGregor) and the beginner or less flexible (performed by another instructor, Greg Nardi).However, for reasons unknown, Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga does not state when Vinyasas are performed between asanas. Given that this is aimed as the Introduction, breath counts should have been mentioned. Generally, practitioners who are familiar with Ashtanga know that each pose is held for five breaths with the exception of asanas in the closing sequence. Ms. Macgregor casually says ten breaths for a final pose, Utapahih. One star is taken off for not stating the importance of Dristi in this video. Gaze points are not consistently included even though they are one for the foundations of Ashtanga. At one point or another, "looking up" during the float is uttered non-chalantly. In addition, different camera angles to show body alignments would add more to the title's name and be more useful to viewers.The video starts out with Sun Salutations A and B but ends at the 25th asana of the Primary Series. I suspect that a reason has to do with being "The Introduction," therefore not featuring all poses in the first Series.Despite some shortcomings of the video (three out of five stars), it is a must-have DVD that a serious Ashtangi should have. Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga with Kino MacGregor, Greg Nardi and Tim Feldmann is certainly an excellent supplement to books and other instructional resources out there. This product is not 100% perfect. By the time you watch all of Ms. MacGregor's videos, buy all of her books and attend her classes, you should be well versed in Ashtanga.The late Guruji instilled in her many, many qualities of a great teacher. Kino-ji (if I may call her with the suffix "ji") is now one of our finest instructors in the crowded Yoga field. Most of all, Ms. MacGregor inspires us to go beyond our physical limitations and to reach spiritual transcendence through the practice of Ashtanga Yoga.

    Got me off to great start
  

*by N***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2011*

When the video first started going I was intimidated by the pace of the movements. There's really no, "Hey, here's what we're about to do, so get ready" part. For this reason, I recommend watching the different movements once to get an idea of the flow, then doing it.The best part of this CD for me is the constant insight and talk about how to get in and out of the movements and what you should be thinking about. It seems like hearing her talk constantly while you're trying to have a relaxing/connecting experience would be be detrimental, but I found it very helpful. Each rotation she gives you more insight into each move and what you want to do to get the most out of it. Great for a beginner like me.Breathing section is great. I would have liked a little more help on breathing while going through the moves, but the little you do get on this is helpful.

    Great DVD, but not exactly for beginners
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2012*

Don't let the "Introduction" in the title make you think that these are beginner poses. The DVD has a lot of great information if you are just starting to practice, but as a beginner, I struggled with a lot of the poses (even the modified version). I think it is a great DVD, but if you are a beginner, don't expect to be able to do all the poses comfortably. I was a bit sore and exhausted after completing it. I have taken yoga classes before, so while I am a beginner, I am able to do most of the basic beginner poses sucessfully, just not some of the poses in this DVD.
